EXCLUSIVE: According to the Department of Homeland Security, a man in Washington state has been accused of making online threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers via social media.

James Adrian Warren is currently under investigation for allegedly posting threats on October 22, specifically targeting the ICE office located in Ferndale, Washington, near the U.S.-Canadian border, as stated by DHS.

In his social media posts, Warren referred to ICE as “Nazis” and likened them to “the Gestapo.” He declared his intention to monitor, follow, document, and report on ICE employees in an effort to “make life harder for ICE here in Whatcom County.”

Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin commented, “Threats against our courageous ICE officers and their families are appalling. These officers put their lives on the line daily to apprehend dangerous criminals from our communities. Comparing ICE to the Nazi Gestapo and other oppressive forces has serious repercussions.”

A Facebook post by James Warren in Washington

The Department of Homeland Security provided an image of a Facebook post purportedly made by James Warren, threatening ICE personnel in Washington state.

“The men and women of ICE and CBP are fathers and mothers, sons and daughters,” she added. “They get up every morning to try and make our communities safer. Like everyone else, they just want to go home to their families at night. The violence and dehumanization of these men and women who are simply enforcing the law must stop.”

In his post, Warren allegedly wrote: “I have also never been more ready to fight with everything that I’ve got than I am now.”

He added that ICE needs to be “reminded that they are Nazis every day when they go home. I start on my next day off — you should too.”

The post is one of many that have threatened to harm or harass ICE agents, who now face a 1,000% uptick in assaults as the Trump administration continues to ramp up immigration enforcement operations nationwide.

In September, Eduardo Aguilar, an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was living in Dallas, was arrested after he allegedly offered $10,000 on TikTok to kill ICE agents. He was charged with transmitting in interstate or foreign commerce a communication containing a threat.

Aguilar allegedly posted a TikTok in Spanish on Oct. 9, calling for “10 dudes in Dallas with determination who aren’t afraid to [two skull emojis],” and offered “10K for each ICE agent.”

In September, three women were indicted by a federal grand jury for livestreaming their pursuit of an ICE agent to his home and then posting the victim’s home address on Instagram. Upon arriving at the home, they began shouting “neighbor is ICE,” “la migra lives here,” and “ICE lives on your street and you should know.”

In Texas, an ICE officer’s spouse received a voicemail with violent threats.

“I don’t know how you let your husband work for ICE and you sleep at night,” the voicemail from a female caller said. “F*** you, f*** your family. I hope your kids get deported by accident. How do you sleep? F*** you. Did you hear what happened to the Nazis after World War II? Because it’s what’s going to happen to your family.”
